Abstract

An optical imaging lens includes a first lens element, a second lens, an aperture stop, a third lens element and a fourth lens element from an object side to an image side in order along an optical axis, and each lens element has an object-side surface and an image-side surface. An optical axis of the image-side surface of the first lens element is convex and an optical axis of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is concave. HFOV stands for the half field of view of the entire optical imaging lens and TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens element to an image plane along the optical axis to satisfy HFOV/TTL≤1.500°/mm.
